We've had a suggestion to better utilize one or more of the dormant forums here at the Diecast Zone. If we did, what would you like to see? One suggestion was a board for modeling tips and how-tos. Another might be dioramas. What are your ideas?

Modeling tips and how-to would be my choice.
Thanks!

both great ideas John, I'd actually like to see them both rolled into one.

My choice would be modeling tips and how-to. Dioramas would be a separate forum.

I agree with the above.

If rebadging more than one forum (or creating an additional one) is feasible, I wouldn't see any problem with having dioramas separate from car modelling and how-to's. But if an additional forum isn't possible, and with "Supercars and hypercars" being the only existing one that really seems to have died a death, I think people would probably manage OK with having both these areas of interest combined in a "modelling and related handicrafts" or "modelling and layouts" venue.
I previously suggested something like "All My Own Work" but that could easily be shortened to perhaps "The Craft Forum". Or maybe there could be a vote, with one of the Diecast Zone's notorious spoof prizes going to the best title.

My god Graeme....are you suggesting that our Trabant SS Coupe Grand Prize offering lacked sincerity...or (gasp)....integrity??? Be honest now....is there not just a touch of non-winner bitterness at play here? Ask JK....the only reason this prize is not seen about regularly is that the winner was oddly reluctant to pay the associated reasonable handling and delivery charges. Go figure.
All of this drivel aside I must say that your idea has merit.
